    True Loves delivers on the fantastic promise of its title-track, comprising a commendable listen for those demanding defined individuality from their chosen songsmiths.

    Rarely does music feel this much like a celebration, and though it might not get to you emotionally, that doesn't mean you can't sing along.

    As a whole, the album can amount to aural overload. If there's an album that calls for a breather between listens, it's this one. But, taken individually, this is an unbelievable collection of songs that will be finding their way onto mix CDs and iTunes playlists for a long time to come.

    The album was entirely performed, engineered and produced by Noel Heroux; perhaps the input of a full band and a producer would have brought these songs to life and produced a rather more coherent and fully formed debut.

    True Loves is remarkably a quantum leap artistically over the band's fine debut EP, and exhibits a surfeit of sonic possibilities, auguring that the best may still be yet to come for this superb band.
